Default RE: rudder effects


ORIGINAL: Tall Paul

I believe it's a "feature" of the orientation of the inertial axes of the plane, with the longitudinal axis is skewed, passing under the rudder, which gives the rudder a moment arm around the longitudinal axis. This rolls the plane with rudder deflection.
That may do it
proove it by adding an opposing rudder beneath the rudder with reversed throw.
